    Braiding is fairly cheap same with the heatshrink

    Usually all you need and be aquired for under £5 and all you need then is a heat source (Lighter/match)

    You will want to make sure you get the correct dimeter of braid and heatshrink, not sure what diameter i used, think it was 25mm, but i used 2 diemeters

    Also take note that braid usually expands up to 150% of its orginal size

        I don't bother to be honest.

        I used to be anal about tidy heli's but these days I realise that ****ing about with braid or spiral wrap just stops flying time and makes rebuilds longer causes more problems than it fixes should you crash.

        Build...

        Tidy...

        Fly...

        Simple really, if you spend hours ****ing around with tidying you are either sponsored, Anal or not flying it hard enough

            I get all mine from eBay UK Shop - Heatshrink-online: BLACK heatshrink, YELLOW heatshrink, WHITE heatshrink they do the braiding and also the glue lined heatshrink. 6 or 8mm braid and 9mm glue lined heatshrink I find is spot on for the job
